Costs

Florida State University is required by U.S. federal regulations to verify the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019). Please complete the Certification of Financial Responsibility Form and submit it along with verification of support (bank statements, award letters, scholarships, etc.). You must show proof of financial support for the first year of study and demonstrate availability of funds for the length of your academic program.

Grants and loans are not awarded to international undergraduate students. Graduate students may apply to their respective departments for assistantships or fellowships, although funds are extremely limited. For further information, please contact your academic department directly.
